A landlord of a home on Northwest 107th Street found 10 VHS tapes in March 2015 while cleaning out a home that Eldon David Roberts lived in, according to court documents. The landlord watched the tapes and saw a man believed to be Roberts having sex with underage boys, the documents say.

The home was being cleaned because Roberts and another man, Jason McGann, 39, had been evicted after living there for more than 10 years. Although they weren't related, Roberts and McGann considered their friendship as a father-son relationship, the documents said.

The landlord learned shortly after finding the tapes that McGann had committed suicide, according to the documents.

Police watched the 10 VHS tapes in late April 2015 and confirmed that the man depicted was Roberts, the documents say. The man is seen performing sexual acts with 12- or 13-year-old victims inside a bedroom that officers later learned was at the home from which Roberts was evicted.

A wall-mounted camera was found in the bedroom, according to court documents.

Police spoke with one of Roberts' neighbors, who said he was molested when he was 12 years old. Court documents say that the neighbor was one of the victims in the videos. The victim told police that did not know he was being taped.

The victim also identified Roberts and McGann in pictures taken from the tapes, the documents say. The court documents do not say how McGann is connected with the videos.

Roberts has been arrested in Virginia on 10 counts of manufacturing child pornography.
